ICICI Securities Ltd and CIBIL today announced the availability of CIBIL TransUnion Score and individual Credit Portfolio Insights on ICICIdirect.com. This is a first-of-its kind service in India where the investments and loan portfolio are updated automatically in their account. This service is a subscription based service for ICICIdirect customers at a nominal fee.
In 2014, ICICIdirect partnered with CIBIL to offer CIBIL TransUnion Score and CIBIL Report. Since then, the customers had quick access to view both their loans and investments portfolio at a single place and thus they were able to manage their personal finances better.
ICICIdirect.com has over 3.8 million customers and offers a wide variety of investment services. Keeping a track of oneâs CIBIL Report and CIBIL TransUnion Score is as important as monitoring investments as it has a direct impact on the risk taking ability of an investor. The new initiative by ICICI Securities and CIBIL will enable ICICIdirect customers to track their Investments, Loans and CIBIL TransUnion Score all in one place.
âWe are committed towards helping our customers in meeting their financial goals. Credit and loans are as important in our customersâ life as their investments. By integrating investment portfolio with the loan portfolio and CIBIL Credit Score on ICICIdirect.com, we believe that we will further help our customers to have better control over their finances and goals,â says Abhishake Mathur, Head Investment Advisory Services, ICICI Securities Ltd.
âToday majority of the loans or credit cards get approved after checking the applicantâs CIBIL Report and CIBIL TransUnion Score. An individualâs CIBIL Report and CIBIL TransUnion Score not only determine whether or not the person qualifies for a loan, but it may also have an impact on the terms and conditions on the loan. The higher the score, the better may be the chances of availing the loan faster and on favourable terms,â said Harshala Chandorkar, Chief Operating Officer, CIBIL. âWe have received a good response from ICICI Securities customers on our earlier partnership and we are confident that with the availability of both the CIBIL TransUnion Score and individual Credit Portfolio Insights, we will reach many more customers and assist them in meeting their financial goals,â she added further.
CIBIL provides comprehensive credit information on consumer and commercial credit to credit grantors, individual consumers and business entities in India. CIBILâs advanced analytic and risk management tools help credit grantors mitigate risk and ensure superior portfolio performance. The CIBIL TransUnion Score is a three-digit numeric summary of an individualâs credit history- ranging from 300 â 900, and is integral to the loan approval process. The CIBIL TransUnion Score is derived using the credit history found in the CIBIL Report. A CIBIL Report is an individualâs credit payment history across loan and credit cards and credit institutions over a period of time.
